Who's the Sexiest Man Alive? (Hint: Don't believe People magazine)

I’ve had a busy and frustrating last few days. I’ve been up in New York arguing with the decision-makers at People magazine, attempting to right a terrible wrong.

You see, the People have spoken, and they’ve declared that the sexiest man alive is… George Clooney. Oh, the injustice. Everyone knows the sexiest man alive isn’t that gray-haired uber-bachelor Syriana star. No sir, the Sexiest Man Alive is golf?s own Retief Goosen.

Thick, wavy locks. Baby blue puppy-dog eyes. That gentle, lopsided smile… Is it getting hot in here?

Strangely, my husband isn?t at all bothered by my little crush on The Goose, but fellow-blogger Chris Baldwin is. So threatened is Baldwin that he predictably launched into a tirade on Goosen?s oh-so-poor final-round 73 at the HSBC Championship last weekend, going so far as to question the tenacity of his fans. “It even makes me a little sad,” says Baldwin.

There’s no need to break out the Prozac just yet, Chris. A fair-weather Goosen fan I am not.

I?ve said it before, and I?ll say it again, whether Goosen wins the US Open or goes +11 on the final day (which, sadly, he did last year), he?ll always be at the top of my leaderboard.

Sorry, George. You got nothin? on The Goose.

J. Mario,

The answer to your question is: I am.
§ Chris Baldwin® said on : 11/16/06 @ 03:19
Smails you've got no shot.

At least, I bring the baby-blue eyes.

You're both liars. I am the sexiest man
alive. Goose doesn't even come close,
and last I checked, Ron Mon was an even
billion behind.

Count me out.

Let me thrown my hat in the ring. I've got the whole package.

I'm sensitive and caring, love dogs and can usually find steady work. I've read entire books before and am possessed of a Greek-like physical beauty.

Give it up Tim and Chris! We've seen the tumbnails, you both have faces for radio or in this case blogging.

If you're voting for Sexiest Man Alive, I'd have to go with William K. Wolfrum:

1) He's extremely handsome.
2) Was once a commercial fisherman in Alaska (ooooohhh, sexy)
3) Great hair. Hair that Baldwin and McDonald don't have between the two of them.
4) Loves his dogs and is caring but can kill a man with his bare hands if he felt like it.

Seriously, the dude is smokin'.

Somehow, I get the feeling that a man nicknamed Booger will never have to be worried about making a Sexiest Man Alive acceptance speech. But that's just me.

Tim and Chris: Sorry, no. Thanks for playing.

William K. Wolfrum: Maybe. The hair thing is a plus.

Smails and Booger: Not enough information. We're going to need some photos to make an informed decision on the matter. But Shanks has a point. You might want to drop the "Booger" moniker to warrant serious consideration in this contest.

I vote for Ozzie on Survivor. He's got cute eyes, is a great athlete and has a much better nickname than Booger.

Jennifer...! I know hotness is subjective but Retief Goosen? I don't get that at all. Talk about cold. The guy's like ~~an ice cream cone~~ a tomb stone. I'm solidly in the George Clooney camp. Oh and Wolfrum's pretty hot too, no matter what Not William K. Wolfrum says.

Sexy? You want sexy? Get in mah belly!!!! Bring that little wee mon over here for me to eat!!! Now that's sexy.
§ Judge Smails said on : 11/17/06 @ 00:59
Are you kidding, Chris? I have dark blonde hair and blue eyes and look very much like an Aryan superman. Besides, I'm quite sure that I'm taller than you.
§ Bill said on : 11/17/06 @ 10:16
Anyone who can write a book about making of a champion before she becomes one should give no opinion about anyone or anything. Obviously it is coming ot the winter months, when golf writes or those who pretend to be have nothing to write about.....
§ Florida Girl said on : 11/17/06 @ 14:49
Bill, I don't understand people like you who waste their time reading, watching or listening to things they hate. Don't you have a life? If you don't like the blog, stop reading it.

(I ask the same question of my friend who listens to Rush Slimebaugh.)
§ Candace Polski said on : 11/18/06 @ 01:43
Good point, Florida Girl. I don't listen to Al Franken for the same reason.

And good to have you back Jennifer! Where have you been? I can't (and don't) read anything else on this site. I hope to see more from you.
§ Florida Girl said on : 11/18/06 @ 05:49
I should have told Bill that if he wants to chime in, he should at least try to stay on topic. We're talking about sexy guys here!
Michelle Wie does not fit into that category. And I'm guessing neither does Bill.

So Candace, who gets your vote?
§ Ron Mon® said on : 11/18/06 @ 10:11
Candace doesn't read RonMon? I'm shocked. Her presence would double my viewership.
§ Kristen said on : 11/20/06 @ 12:43
I think I have to go with Cheap Bastard (he's a he, right?).
§ Booger said on : 11/20/06 @ 20:39
Don't judge a book by its cover. I am
the sexiest!
§ Merrin said on : 11/25/06 @ 18:46
Retief Goosen?
No Way!

Adam Scott has the sexiest golfer tag
